Dennis Carter, a fly fishing expert, loves sharing his enthusiasm for the activity. “I have been fly fishing for 25 years,” Carter says. “I have always loved to fish, and one day someone I worked with mentioned fly fishing and asked me if I would like to try it. I knew nothing
about it at the time but had always been fascinated in watching someone cast a line so far and how some people were so graceful in how they did it.” Carter had always been a spin cast or bait casting fisherman before trying fly fishing and had never even held a fly rod in his hand. Today, he says fly fishing has brought him a lot of happiness. 6 / THE LAKES / AUGUST 2020 / TheLakesMagazine.com
“I think that initially it was the joy it has brought into my life, the peace and serenity I received from it,” he says. “And now I believe that I love it for the way I see others who learn to appreciate those same things and how excited they are as they get better and better at their fly casting.” Carter also builds fishing rods.
